Just another typical Alex Cross book. I wonder how many more of these books Mr. Patterson is going to produce before ending the series. The newer books are nowhere near as good as some of the first ones.
This one is written from John Sampson's point of view. Which at first threw me for a loop, then made me question if there is a separate John Sampson series. If James Patterson gets tired of Alex, it would be a great spin off!
Well written book with several twists!

At first I wasn't a fan of John Sampson narrating instead of Alex Cross...nobody likes change. Loved the story line enough to look past this minor change, even when muscle memory would get confused sometimes.
I received a copy of this book from NovelSuspects and Little, Brown in exchange for an honest review.
Alex Cross book number 31 doesn’t disappoint! This one is fast-paced, and really features John Simpson in a rush to save the country from a looming threat. I appreciated that Patterson made politics approachable to the average person, of course taking literary license with what would and would not be feasible. If you like an action-driven plot, this may be the book for you! And while it’s obviously part of a bigger series, this one can stand alone as it’s own book (I’m an Alex Cross series newbie myself). Basically, Patterson has done it again and has put out another great book!

This shouldn't be marketed as a Cross book. Yes, Cross is in it but he's not the main focus. This very much read like the first in a Sampson spin-off series.
It wouldn't be a James Patterson book if he didn't have a fatphobic comment in it. I'm just surprised it was closer to the end of the book as he usually drops it right out of the gate at the beginning of the book.
